I'm not sure what you're trying to do, but to change what the input.device
thinks is the "mouse", send IND_SETMPORT to the input.device....

   IO REQUEST...
        io_Command      IND_SETMPORT
        io_Length       1
        io_Data         a pointer to a byte that is either 0 or 1,
                        indicating that mouse input should be obtained
                        from either the left or right controller port,
                        respectively.

If you set it to -1 it should stop reading from *either* port.
